A FLOCK HOUSE GIRL'S GRATITUDE.

10 THE EDITOR OF THS PRESS. Sir,—May I, through the medium of your paper, endeavour to express my thanks to the New Zealand sheepowners who subscribed to the Flock

House Fund for all they have done for me and ether Flock House boys and girls? My apprenticeship is now over and I have benefited very greatly in many ways by the scheme. I think New Zealand is a magnificent oountry, and I have always found New Zealanders most kind. We Flock House girls and boys are greatly indebted to the New Zealand sheepowners, and I am sure we will all willingly work our best for a reduced wage to help our employers who have suffered so much through the depression. 1 am glad that the Flock House scheme is to be extended to New Zealand boys, as the New Zealand Forces were so fine during the Great War. The scheme is, I think, one of the greatest war memorials. The sheepowners subscribed so readily and unostentatiously, and though some may say it cannot last, I think they are wrong, as I am sure we, who have benefited by it, and who know it is called an acknowledgment of debt to our brave, unselfish lathers, will grasp any opportunity to pass such kindness on to others. "As one lamp lights another, nor grows less, So nobleness enkindleth nobleness/' • —Yours, etc., A FLOCK HOUSE GIRL. March 7th, 1932.
